Literally zero chance of this passing, citizens that live there have to vote on this and no chance they're going to want this tax increase put on them.

Even after the governor signs it, 2/3 of the residents in the RCID have to vote to approve it. Since they are mostly Disney employees and taxpayers in those counties, they're going to be on the hook for all the services Disney has been paying for. Roads, sewers all that infrastructure is not cheap and will transfer to the resident taxes.

Well I didn't downvote you and I'm not saying I disbelieve you right off the bat, but do you have a source for that? This is literally the first time I've heard of the RCID being able to resist its own dissolution by the state gov't and I can't find this anywhere else.

MSM sources like this one say that Disney will probably try to fight this out in the courts rather than by popular vote, and Democratic state legislators are saying that Disney is more powerful than DeSantis (lul, but they're totally gonna fight the megacorps in the RCI if the poor would but vote for them) - not that the voters in the RCID themselves can stop this.

State law requires the residents of a special district to vote on its dissolution, i just don't see that happening but maybe im wrong.

I never said Disney gets a vote, the citizens of that district will vote and need a 2/3 majority vote for it to pass which again, it never will.
